The design of correct and efficient algorithms for problem
solving lies at the heart of computer science. This concise
text, without being highly specialized, teaches the skills
needed to master the essentials of this subject. With
clear explanations and engaging writing style, the book
places increased emphasis on algorithm design
techniques rather than programming in order to develop
in the reader the problem-solving skills.
The treatment throughout the book is primarily tailored to
the curriculum needs of B.Tech. students in computer
science and engineering, B.Sc. (Hons.) and M.Sc. students
in computer science, and MCA students.
The book focuses on the standard algorithm design
methods and the concepts are illustrated through
representative examples to offer a reader-friendly
text. Elementary analysis of time complexities is provided
for each example-algorithm. A varied collection of
exercises at the end of each chapter serves to reinforce
the principles/methods involved.

BRASSARD & BRATLEY
Fundamentals of Algorithmics
GILLES BRASSARD and PAUL BRATLEY, Département
d’informatique et de recherche opérationelle, Université
de Montréal.
Written by two eminent academics and culled from years
3
of rich experience, this book provides a systematic study
and design of algorithms suitable for introductory level
courses. Giving numerous worked out examples and
detailed proofs, the text presents algorithms by types
rather than applications.
The book concentrates on fundamental techniques used
to design and analyse efficient algorithms. The authors
whose earlier text Algorithmics: Theory and Practice, and
Algorithmique: Conception et analyse (in French) on the
subject which was internationally acclaimed, have made
this new book easier for the undergraduate students
after receiving feedback from more than hundred
universities.
The text provides the necessary introductory mathe-
matical knowledge including introduction to proof by
contradiction and mathematical induction. It includes a
paced and thorough introduction to the analysis of
algorithms and uses coherent notation. Exclusive chapters
are devoted to probabilistic algorithms and parallel
algorithms because of their increasing importance.
Contents: Preface. Preliminaries. Elementary
Algorithmics. Asymptotic Notation. Analysis of Algorithms.

one algorithm more efficient than others, and explains
how to devise the new algorithms or modify the existing
ones.
The book begins with an introduction to algorithm
analysis and then presents different methods and
 4 PHI Learning — CATALOGUE 2013
techniques—divide and conquer methods, the greedy
method, search and traversal techniques, backtracking
methods, branch and bound methods—used in the design
of algorithms. Each algorithm that is written in this book
is followed first by a detailed explanation and then is
supported by worked-out examples. The book contains a
number of figures to illustrate the theoretical aspects and
also provides chapter-end questions to enable students
to gauge their understanding of the underlying concepts.
What distinguishes the text is its compactness, which has
been achieved without sacrificing essential subject
matter.
This text is suitable for a course on “Design and Analysis
of Algorithms”, which is offered to the students of B.Tech
(Computer Science and Engineering) and undergraduate
and postgraduate students of computer science and
computer applications [BCA, MCA, B.Sc. (CS), M.Sc. (CS)]
and other computer-related courses.

This internationally acclaimed textbook provides a
comprehensive introduction to the modern study
of computer algorithms. It covers a broad range of
algorithms in depth, yet makes their design and analysis
accessible to all levels of readers. Each chapter is
relatively self-contained and presents an algorithm, a
design technique, an application area, or a related topic.
The algorithms are described and designed in a manner
to be readable by anyone who has done a little
programming. The explanations have been kept
elementary without sacrificing depth of coverage or
mathematical rigor.
The third edition has been revised and updated
throughout. It includes two completely new chapters, on
van Emde Boas trees and multithreaded algorithms, and
substantial additions to the chapter on recurrences
(now called “Divide-and-Conquer”). It features improved
treatment of dynamic programming and greedy
algorithms and a new notion of edge-based flow in the
material on flow networks. Many new exercises and
problems have been added in this edition.
The text is intended primarily for students studying
algorithms or data structures. As it discusses engineering
issues in algorithm design, as well as mathematical
aspects, it is equally well suited for self-study by technical
professionals.
“Introduction to Algorithms, the ‘bible’ of the field, is a
comprehensive textbook covering the full spectrum of
modern algorithms: from the fastest algorithms and data
structures to polynomial-time algorithms for seemingly
intractable problems, from classical algorithms in graph
theory to special algorithms for string matching, compu-
tational geometry, and number theory. The revised third
edition notably adds a chapter on van Emde Boas trees,
one of the most useful data structures, and on multi-
threaded algorithms, a topic of increasing importance.”

Evolutionary Computation:
A Unified Approach
KENNETH A. DE JONG, Professor of Computer Science,
Head of Evolutionary Computation Laboratory, and
Associate Director of the Krasnow Institute at George
Mason University.
Evolutionary Computation is the general term used for
several computational techniques which are based to
some degree on the evolution of biological life in the
natural world. The computer scientist and engineers use
this tool for solving complex problems and to build new
models; the biologists use them to develop and test
better models of natural evolutionary system; and the
artificial-life scientists use them for designing and
implementing artificial worlds. The most widely used
form of evolutionary computation are genetic algorithms,
others being genetic programming, evolution strategies
and evolutionary programming.
De Jong presents a comprehensive and integrated
overview of this fragmented field in this book. This makes
it suitable for classroom use as well as a reliable
reference for computer scientists and engineers especially
working in optimization problems.
Contents: Introduction. A Historical Perspective.
Canonical Evolutionary Algorithms. A Unified View of
Simple EAs. Evolutionary Algorithms as Problem Solvers.

system and then proceeds to develop computational
models that make use of biological concepts. The
chapters cover evolutionary computation and electronics;
cellular systems; neural systems, including neuromorphic
engineering; developmental systems, immune systems;
behavioral systems—including several approaches to
robotics, such as behavior-based, biomimetic, epigenetic,
and evolutionary robots; and collective systems, including
swarm robotics as well as cooperative and competitive
coevolving systems. Chapters end with a concluding
overview and suggested reading.
“Bio-Inspired Artificial Intelligence brings together all the
things I’ve been interested in for the last twenty-five
years, and surprises me by providing a coherent
intellectual framework for them all. This book is a
treasure trove of history from Darwin to Gibson and

MURPHY
Introduction to AI Robotics
ROBIN R. MURPHY, Associate Professor of Computer
Science and Engineering, University of South Florida,
Tampa.
This book attempts to cover all that is needed to program
an artificially intelligent robot for applications involving
sensing, navigation, planning, and uncertainty.
In the overview at the beginning of each chapter, the
author touches upon anthropomorphic robots from
classic films and science fiction stories before delving into
the nuts and bolts of organizing intelligence in robots.
The book is divided into two parts—Part I: Robotic
Paradigms and Part II: Navigation—Part I defines
intelligent robots and introduces why artificial intelligence
is needed. It covers the ‘theory’ of AI robotics, taking the
reader through a historical journey from the Hierarchical
to the Hybrid Deliberative/Reactive Paradigm for
organizing intelligence, besides focusing on Reactive
Paradigm and behaviours, techniques for reactive
behaviours, and coordination and control of teams of
multi-agents. Part II devotes three chapters to qualitative
and metric navigation with path planning techniques, and
work in uncertainty management.
Pedagogical features such as chapter-end summaries,
exercises, photographs and diagrams, and the extensive
Bibliography at the end of the book would considerably
enhance the value of this well-researched text. Intended
as a text for students of mechanical engineering, the
book should also be useful to students of computer
science and professionals interested in programming
artificially intelligent robots for various applications.
KEY FEATURES
• Combines theoretical and practical rigour with a light
narrative touch.
• Each chapter includes objectives, review questions, and
exercises.
• Provides Case Studies that show how concepts could
be implemented on real robots.

ANDERSON
Introduction to Neural Networks, An
JAMES A. ANDERSON
An Introduction to Neural Networks falls into a new
ecological niche for texts. Based on notes that have been
class tested for more than a decade, it is aimed at
cognitive science and neuroscience students who need to
understand brain function in terms of computational
modeling and at engineers who want to go beyond
formal algorithms to applications and computing
strategies. It is the only current text to approach
networks both from a broad neuroscience and cognitive
science perspective, with an increased emphasis on the
biology and psychology governing the assumptions of the
models as well as on what the models might be used for.
It describes the mathematical and computational tools
needed and provides an account of the author’s own
ideas.
KEY FEATURES
• Emphasizes not so much the formal analysis of
network algorithms as the use of algorithms.
• Devotes some effort to describe the biological
representation of data by giving several examples of
biological and cognitive computation using neural
networks.
• The beginning of the book contains programs for some
computer modeling experiments to enable students to
play with algorithms and theories.
• Provides fragments of code, useful Pascal procedures
and functions, and describes results from network
modeling programs, throughout the text.
• The afterword tells how to obtain the complete
programs, datasets and further details about the
operation and design of the programs.

ERMINE
Expert Systems: Theory and Practice
JEAN-LOUIS ERMINE, Senior Lecturer, University of
Bordeaux, France.
This book, an English translation of the original French
version, provides an insight into the theory and practical
applications of expert systems. It introduces expert
systems by defining their functionalities and their
architecture, and gives new mathematical model applied
to several typical problems in systems like chaining,
uncertain reasoning and consistency of knowledge-
base. The text-matter is class tested, and in fact it is
the result of the author’s classroom lectures to the
students. Examples from the real-life experiences are
presented; concepts are defined as precisely as possible
and integrated in the general structure.
The approach of the book is pedagogical, but at the same
time the required rigour is present in the book to have a
unified version of different concepts.
The last part of the book gives a new approach to some
points of Knowledge Representation through semiotics,
an emerging sub-field of Artificial Intelligence.
What is scattered in bits and pieces in many other books
can be found in this comprehensive yet compact volume.

network paradigms by identifying clearly the fundamental
concepts and major methodologies that underlie most of
the current theory and practice employed by neural
network researchers. This text emphasizes the funda-
mental theoretical aspects of the computational
capabilities and the learning abilities of artificial neural
networks.
The text assumes that the reader is conversant with the
concept of a system and the notion of a “state”, as well
as with the basic elements of Boolean algebra and
switching theory.
KEY FEATURES
• Adopts systematic and unified treatment of the
subject to make it more accessible to students and
practitioners.
• Integrates the important results to fully explain a wide
range of existing empirical observations and commonly
used heuristics.
• Views artificial neural networks as parallel computa-
tional models, with varying degrees of complexity,
composed of densely interconnected adaptive process-
ing units.
• Discusses majority of the network models that are
more closely related to traditional mathematical and/
or statistical models rather than to neurobiologic
models.
• Outlines theories and techniques of artificial neural
networks that are fairly mathematical.
• Provides numerous illustrative examples at the end of
each chapter, along with over 200 analytical and
computer-based problems to aid in the development of
neural network analysis and design skills.

CHRISTOS H. PAPADIMITRIOU, C. Lester Hogan Professor
of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University
of California, Berkeley, California.
The practical successes of computer science are built
on its elegant and solid foundations. The purpose
of this book is to introduce students to these
fundamental ideas, models, and results that permeate
computer science—the basic paradigms of this field.
Much of modern computation is based more or less
explicitly on these ideas and models of lasting value
though mathematical in nature. It is hard to understand
computer science without first being exposed to these
formal foundations.
This book provides coverage of the basics of classical and
contemporary theory of computation. The topics covered
include the theory of automata and formal languages,
computability by Turing machines and recursive
functions, uncomputability, computational complexity,
and Boolean logic. The second edition also provides a
descent introduction to the subject of algorithms. The
rudiments of the design and analysis of algorithms are
first introduced and then linked with the models of
computation studied in the text. The book also explains
an array of algorithmic techniques that have been
successfully used in dealing with NP-complete problems.
In a nutshell, the essentials of the subject of computation
and algorithms are made more accessible to students in a
way that is mathematically sound but the viewpoint is

SZALLASI, STELLING & PERIWAL (Eds.)
System Modeling in Cellular Biology:
From Concepts to Nuts and Bolts
Edited by: ZOLTAN SZALLASI, JÖRG STELLING and VIPUL
PERIWAL.
Research in systems biology requires the collaboration of
researchers from diverse backgrounds, including biology,
computer science, mathematics, statistics, physics, and
biochemistry. These collaborations, necessary because of
the enormous breadth of background needed for
research in this field, can be hindered by differing
understandings of the limitations and applicability of
techniques and concerns from different disciplines.
This book is a comprehensive introduction and overview
of system modeling in biology. It makes the relevant
background material from all pertinent fields accessible
to researchers with different backgrounds. The emerging
area of systems level modeling in cellular biology has
lacked a critical and thorough overview, and this book
fills that gap.
This is perhaps the first book to provide the necessary
critical comparison of concepts and approaches, with an
emphasis on their possible applications. It presents key
concepts and their theoretical background, which
includes:
• The concepts of robustness and modularity and their
exploitation to study biological systems
• The best-known modeling approaches, and their
advantages and disadvantages
• Lessons from the application of mathematical models
to the study of cellular biology, and
 18 PHI Learning — CATALOGUE 2013
• Available modeling tools and datasets, along with their
computational limitations.

Business Analysis
PENDSE
Business Analysis: Visualizing Business
Processes and Effective Software
Solutions
PRADEEP HARI PENDSE, is presently at the Welingkar
Institute of Management Development & Research,
Mumbai.
With the growth of the industry and the resulting size
and complexity of IT projects, there is an increasing trend
to separate the technical roles associated with the design
of IT solutions from the customer focused roles and the
project management roles. The role of the Business
Analyst (BA) is that of a person who interfaces with the
customers to understand their requirements. This role is
distinct from that of a technical designer of software
solutions who works on the basis of the requirements
gathered by the BA.
Most leading IT companies today have Business Analyst
as a distinct role. The job requirements depending on the
nature of the business may be that of a domain
consultant, a solution architect, a relationship manager, a
pre-sales consultant, a functional consultant, and an
accounts manager, etc.
This book explains the core aspects of the business
analysis. It explores the knowledge areas required of a
Business Analyst’s role in various organizations. It
integrates knowledge from various conventional and
contemporary areas and uses their tools, techniques and
concepts to specific roles which may a Business Analyst
may have to play in industry. In a nutshell, the book
provides an appreciation of how several of the existing
tools and techniques can be used effectively to ensure
success in managing software requirements in terms of
customer needs and expectations. A number of case
studies have been used to demonstrate the application of
conceptual frameworks to real life examples.
Contents: Introduction. Business Analysis: The Big Picture.
What Business Analysts Should Know about Information
and Information Systems. What Business Analysts Should
Know About Software Life Cycles and Projects. Enterprise
Analysis. Enterprise Analysis: Frameworks and Tools.

This book introduces computer programming to a
beginner using the programming language C. The version
of C used is the one standardised by the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI C). C has rapidly gained
users due to its efficiency, rich data structure, variety of
operators and affinity to the UNIX operating system. C is
a difficult language to learn if it is not methodically
approached. The attempt has been to introduce the basic
aspects of C to enable the student to quickly start writing
C programs and postpone more difficult features of
C to later chapters. The methodology of presentation
closely follows the one used by the author in his popular
book on PASCAL programming. Those who know PASCAL
will find it very easy to learn C using this book.
KEY FEATURES
• A self-contained introduction to programming in C for
beginners.
• All important programming language features
illustrated with over 100 example programs.

This book is on Natural Language Processing presented
with a Paninian perspective. Panini (circa 500 B.C.) was a
grammarian and well known for his contribution to the
grammar and structure of the language. In this book the
reader is first introduced to Natural Language Processing
and then to Paninian grammar and framework for
processing of modern Indian languages using the
computer. Thereafter, a comparison of Paninian grammar
framework with that of modern western computational
grammars is presented.
This book is useful for courses in Computational
Linguistics in the linguistic departments, and for NLP in
computer science departments.
KEY FEATURES
• This book is the first of its kind in presenting a
comparison of Paninian Grammar (PG) with the
existing modern western computational grammars.
• Introduces three western grammar frameworks using
examples from English: Lexical Functional Grammar
(LFG), Trees Adjoining Grammar (TAG), and Govern-
ment and Binding (GB). The presentation does not
assume any background on part of the reader regard-
ing these frameworks.
29
• Each presentation also discusses either the applicability
of the framework to free word order languages, or a
comparison with PG framework.
• It is a single source in path-breaking research on
Natural Language Processing using the classic and time-
tested Paninian framework.

FELLEISEN, et al.
Semantics Engineering with PLT Redex
MATTHIAS FELLEISEN, Trustee Professor of Computer
Science at Northeastern University.
ROBERT BRUCE FINDLER, Assistant Professor of Computer
Science at Northwestern University.
MATTHEW FLATT, Associate Professor of Computer
Science at the University of Utah.
This text is the first comprehensive presentation of
reduction semantics in one volume; it also introduces the
first reliable and easy-to-use tool set for such forms of
semantics. The book comes with a prototyping tool suite
to develop, explore, test, debug, and publish semantic
models of programming languages. With PLT Redex,
semanticists can formulate models as grammars and
reduction models on their computer with the ease of
paper and pencil.
The text first presents a framework for the formulation of
language models, focusing on equational calculi and
abstract machines, and then introduces PLT Redex, a
suite of software tools for expressing these models as PLT
Redex models.
PLT Redex comes with the PLT Scheme implementation,
available free at http://www.plt-scheme.org/. Readers
can download the software and experiment with Redex
as they work their way through the book.
This book is useful for the working semantics engineer
(graduate student or professional language designer).
“Courses on semantics can easily become as dry as dust;
in contrast, this book is nothing short of revolutionary.
The first part is a very clear explanation of the basic
concepts in programming language semantics, starting
with abstract models and moving to progressively more
concrete ones. However, the book really comes alive in
the second part, where the authors use the PLT Redex
language that they have developed to interactively
explore language semantics in the same way that
DrScheme allows the interactive exploration of programs.

I believe that this approach will become the standards
way of doing semantics research in the future, and there
is no better way to take advantage of it than to read
this book.”

NIYOGI
Computational Nature of Language
Learning and Evolution, The
PARTHA NIYOGI.
The book explores the interplay between language
learning and evolution in the context of linguistic
systems. Learning is the mechanism by which language is
transferred from one generation of speakers to another.
If linguistic knowledge is characterized in computational
terms as a formal grammar and the mapping procedure is
algorithmic, this conceptualization admits computational
and mathematical modes of inquiry into language
learning.
In this book Partha Niyogi introduces a framework for
analyzing the precise nature of the relationship between
learning by the individual and evolution of the
population. We can observe the learning of language by
children and marvel at the phenomenon of language
acquisition; the evolution of a language, however, is not
so directly experienced. In language evolution, one
studies how linguistics evolved.
Intended mainly for students of Linguistics (Compu-
tational linguistics), the book will also prove useful as a
reference for researchers in the field and those pursuing
courses in AI/Theoretical Computer Science.

digital logic level, the microarchitecture level, the
instruction set architecture level, the operating system
machine level, and the assembly language level—each
one performing some well-defined functions.
What distinguishes this Fifth Edition, however, is that,
while building on the strength of the previous edition, it
presents the most recent trends, tools, and techniques,
including PCI express, modern multi-computer systems,
and network processors that reflect the changes which
have taken place during the intervening period.
The text also covers today’s most popular I/O devices,
including digital cameras, DSL, and Internet over cable,
and the current example machines such as Pentium 4,
UltraSPARC III, and 8051 (used in embedded systems).
A large number of diagrams, problems at the end
of each chapter, tables, and a comprehensive
Bibliography enhance the value of the text which will be
treasured by students for its utility, worth, and
contemporary approach.

WADHWA
Numerical Analysis with Algorithms and
Computer Programs in C++
AJAY WADHWA, Associate Professor of Physics at Sri Guru
Tegh Bahadur Khalsa College, University of Delhi.
This concise introduction to Numerical Methods blends
the traditional algebraic approach with the computer-
based approach, with special emphasis on evolving
algorithms which have been directly transformed
into programs in C++. Each numerical method used for
solving nonlinear algebraic equations, simultaneous
linear equations, differentiation, integration, ordinary
differential equations, curve-fitting, etc. is accompanied
by an algorithm and the corresponding computer
program.
All computer programs have been test run on Linux
‘Ubuntu C++’ as well as Window-based ‘Dev C++’, Visual
C++ and ‘Turbo C++’ compiler systems. Since different
types of C++ compilers are in use today, instructions have
been given with each computer program to run it on any
kind of compiler. To this effect, an introductory chapter
on C++ compilers has been added for ready reference by
the students and teachers.
Another major feature of the book is the coverage of the
practicals prescribed for laboratory work in Numerical
Analysis. Each chapter has a large number of laboratory
tested programming examples and exercises including
questions from previous years’ examinations.
This textbook is intended for the undergraduate science
students pursuing courses in BSc (Hons.) Physics, BSc
(Hons.) Electronics and BSc (Hons.) Mathematics. It is also
suitable for courses on Numerical Analysis prescribed for
the engineering students of all disciplines.
Contents: Preface. A Note on C++ Compilers. Estimation
of Errors in Computation. Numerical Methods for
Non-Linear and Transcendental Equations. Solution of
Simultaneous Linear Equations. Interpolation. Numerical

Computer Simulation
DEO
System Simulation with Digital Computer
NARSINGH DEO, Charles E. Millican Professor, Depart-
ment of Computer Science, University of Central Florida.
This is a compact and basic textbook for a first course in
simulation, designed to provide a thorough grounding in
the use of simulation techniques to solve simple, but
mathematically intractable problems for studying the
discipline of digital computer simulation. To be able to
use this powerful method, a certain amount of well-
 COMPUTER SCIENCE, COMPUTER ENGINEERING AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
balanced experience in the areas of (i) modelling, (ii)
computer programming, and (iii) statistics is required. The
purpose of the book is to get the reader started.
Designed for students of engineering and business
administration as well as for practising systems analysts,
industrial engineers and operations research workers, it
describes the use of digital computers for simulating
engineering and business systems. It is assumed that the
reader knows computer programming and has some
knowledge of FORTRAN, as it is author’s firm conviction
that the first course in simulation should be taught using
a general-purpose language.
The book presents a complete overview of simulation of
discrete, stochastic, dynamic systems with emphasis
on simulation of continuous systems. It also provides
indepth examples of simulation from three very
important areas of problems, namely queuing systems,
stochastic networks, and inventory systems.
Techniques of simulation are thus highlighted through
examples which encourage learning by doing, by solving a
large variety of actual problems, and by watching how
others solve them.

SCHWARTZ
Biological Modeling and Simulation:
A Survey of Practical Models,
Algorithms, and Numerical Methods
RUSSELL SCHWARTZ.
This book is aimed at training aspiring computational
biologists to handle new and unanticipated problems. It
teaches the students how to reason about developing
formal mathematical models of biological systems that
are amenable to computational analysis. The text covers
models of optimization, simulation and sampling, and
parameter tuning. These topics provide a general
framework for learning how to formulate mathematical
models of biological systems, what techniques are
available to work with these models, and how to fit the
models to particular systems. Their application is
illustrated by many examples drawn from a variety of
biological disciplines and several extended case studies
that show how the methods described have been applied
to real problems in biology.
“In twenty-first-century biology, modeling has a similar
role as the microscope had in earlier centuries; it is
arguably the most important research tool for studying
complex phenomena and processes in all areas of the life
sciences, from molecular biology to ecosystems analysis.
Every biologist therefore needs to be familiar with
the basic approaches, methods, and assumptions of
modeling. Biological Modeling and Simulation is an
essential guide that helps biologists explore the
fundamental principles of modeling. It should be on the
bookshelf of every student and active researcher.”

Random Processes for Image and
Signal Processing
EDWARD R. DOUGHERTY, Texas A&M University.
Temporal, spatial, and higher-dimensional processes vary
from observation to observation and are dealt with by
science and engineering. Random processes provide the
tools for understanding observations as a whole. This text
strives to highlight the significance of random processes
for image and signal processing. Integrated with special
cases that provide clear insights into the subject, the
book covers basic probability theory (with special
57
attention to multivariate distributions and functions of
several random variables), canonical representation,
transform coding, optimal filter design (both linear and
nonlinear), neural networks, discrete and continuous time
Markov chains, and the theory of random closed sets.
Proofs are provided within the main text to enhance
conceptual understanding. Also, a clear distinction is
made between deterministic concepts and their random
counterparts. The large number of imaging applications
would considerably help in comprehending the concepts
discussed, and the many exercises provided at the end of

Wavelets—were developed, giving a boost to the interest
in image compression for internet and other multimedia
applications.
This book focuses on the mathematical aspects of fractals
and wavelet image compression. The level of mathe-
matical presentation is accessible to undergraduates,
engineering and science students. Prior knowledge of
image compression, fractal geometry and wavelet
concepts is not essential to benefit from the text.

Graph Theory with Applications to
Engineering and Computer Science
NARSINGH DEO, Charles E. Millican Professor, Depart-
ment of Computer Science, University of Central Florida.
Because of its inherent simplicity, graph theory has a
wide range of applications in engineering and in physical
sciences. It also has uses in social sciences, in linguistics
and in numerous other areas. In fact, a graph can be
used to represent almost any physical situation, involving
discrete objects and the relationship among them. Now
with the solutions to engineering and other problems
becoming fairly complex leading to larger graphs, it is
virtually becoming difficult to analyze problems without
the use of computers.
This book provides a rigorous yet informal treatment
of graph theory with an increased emphasis on
computational aspects of graph theory and graph-
theoretic algorithms. Numerous applications to actual
engineering problems are incorporated with software
design and optimization topics.
Contents: Preface. Introduction. Paths and Circuits. Trees
and Fundamental Circuits. Cut-Sets and Cut-Vertices.
Planar and Dual Graphs. Vector Spaces of a Graph. Matrix
Representation of Graphs, Coloring, Covering, and
Partitioning. Directed Graphs. Enumeration of Graphs.

Education and Research Centre, Indian Institute of
Science, Bangalore.
This book is designed to acquaint the readers with major
aspects of e-commerce with particular emphasis on
technology such as cryptography, e-payment and mobile
payment security.
The book presents a layered architecture of e-commerce
systems with six layers. The physical layer (the
bottommost layer) described first, provides the basic
communication infrastructure needed by e-commerce.
The next layer described is the logical layer consisting of
Local Area Networks, the Internet, Intranet, etc. which
provide connectivity. The layer above is the network
services layer which provides e-mail and World Wide
Web applications. Above this is a very important
messaging layer of e-commerce which provides facilities
for exchanging messages securely using the
communication infrastructure. Here various methods of
 68 PHI Learning — CATALOGUE 2013
encryption, public key infrastructure and digital signature
are discussed. It is also explained as to how the
messaging layer is used to exchange structured electronic
documents, using XML. The next layer called middleman
services layer, describes the design of home page of an
organization and elaborates various payment services
such as credit card, e-cash, smart card, etc. The topmost
layer is on applications, namely, B2C, B2B and C2C
e-commerce which are defined and described at the
beginning of the book.
As use of mobile phones and mobile network is rapidly
increasing, a whole chapter is devoted to explain m-
commerce. Of special interest are detailed discussions of
Wireless Application Protocol, security issues and
payment methods.
A complete chapter is also devoted to new developments
in multimedia information goods such as e-books, MP3
compressed audio and digital quality video. A unique
feature of these goods is the method of delivery which
also uses the mobile Internet infrastructure.
Finally, the legal framework of e-commerce provided by
the Information Technology Act 2000 (and the amended
act of 2008) is explained.
This book with its numerous student-friendly features is
an ideal text for undergraduate and postgraduate
students of Computer Science and Information
Technology (BSc and MSc), Computer Applications (BCA
and MCA), and for undergraduate engineering students of
Computer Science and Engineering and Information
Technology. Besides, it would be useful to professionals

SAP is a great software. One needs to fully understand its
features in order to effectively exploit them for the
benefit of customers. Mr. Agrawal’s books on SAP HR
have a unique approach. A chapter usually focuses on a
single business concept, and discusses the user interface
as well as its associated configuration. This logical division
makes it easier for readers to understand the
functionality.
Another important feature of these books is the level of
detail. Each screen and each field in a screen is explained.
Explanation includes meaning, use case and in some
cases guidelines. Details are balanced by overviews
explaining the concepts and their relationships.
While explaining functionality, Mr. Agrawal has made
efforts to highlight what can be done and how it is to be
done. This is particularly important for less experienced
users and consultants.
Indicating chapter numbers against each menu and confi-
guration item is a very useful innovation, as it establishes
direct link between the SAP system and the book.
Another useful feature is that these books can be read
not only by consultants, but also by users, business
process owners and even by senior managers. The
importance of each topic for each category of users is
specified.
Mr. Agrawal has taken considerable pains in writing
these books, and I congratulate Mr. Agrawal on his
achievement and thank him for his contribution to the
SAP community.

FORTRAN Programming
RAJARAMAN
Computer Programming in
FORTRAN 77 (with an Introduction to
FORTRAN 90), 4th ed.
V. RAJARAMAN, Honorary Professor, Supercomputer
Education and Research Centre, Indian Institute of
Science, Bangalore.
This book is the revised and enlarged version of
the author’s widely acclaimed book Computer
Programming in FORTRAN 77 (Prentice-Hall of India,
1988). In its fourth edition, the major addition is a
chapter on FORTRAN 90 which has recently emerged as a
new standard. The obsolete features of FORTRAN 77
have therefore been pointed out throughout the text and
finally consolidated in an Appendix. However, all
FORTRAN 77 programs written adhering to ANSI standard
(without using the obsolete features) are executable
without change in FORTRAN 90 compilers. Thus FORTRAN
77 will continue to be used for sometime.
 74 PHI Learning — CATALOGUE 2013
As with the previous editions, this book introduces the
basic concepts of computer programming using FORTRAN
77 language. The style of presentation is simple and
elucidative and suitable for self study. The concepts
introduced have been illustrated with worked example
programs, written using the structured programming
style. The worked examples have been tested using the
ANSI FORTRAN 99 compiler.
Contents: Preface. Computer Oriented Procedures. Flow
Charts. Fortran Programming Preliminaries. Fortran
Constants and Variables. Arithmetic Expressions. Input-
Output Statements. Simple Computer Programs. Control
Statements. The DO Statement. Subscripted Variables.
Elementary Format Specifications. Logical Expressions and
Decision Tables. Fortran Program Examples. Functions
and Subroutines. Processing Files in Fortran. Character
Manipulation in Fortran. Miscellaneous FORTRAN 77

RAJARAMAN
Computer Programming in FORTRAN 90
and 95
V. RAJARAMAN, Honorary Professor, Supercomputer
Education and Research Centre, Indian Institute of
Science, Bangalore.
This book introduces computer programming to a
beginner using Fortran 90 and its recent extension
Fortran 95. While Fortran 77 has been used for many
years and is still very popular, the International Standards
Organization set up a group to ‘modernize’ Fortran and
introduce new features which have made languages such
as Pascal and C popular. The committee came up with
the new standard, Fortran 90, which has introduced
many new features in Fortran such as recursion, pointers,
user defined data types, etc., hitherto available only in
Pascal and C. Fortran 90 is not an evolutionary change of
Fortran 77 but is drastically different. Though Fortran 77
programs can be run using a Fortran 90 compiler, Fortran
90 is so different that the author felt it was a good idea
to introduce Fortran 90 from basics. In 1996, some small
extensions were made to Fortran 90 and called Fortran
95. This book also discusses these features. As all new
programs in Fortran will henceforth be written in Fortran
90, it is essential for students to learn this language.
One of the main merits of the book is that every concept
in the language has been illustrated with an appropriate
example program. This approach makes the book
eminently suitable for self-study as well.
Contents: Preface. Evolution of Fortran. Simple Fortran
90 Programs. Numeric Constants and Variables.
Arithmetic Expressions. Input-Output Statements.
Conditional Statements. Implementing Loops in Programs.
Logical Expressions and More Control Statements.
Functions and Subroutines—Basics. Defining and
Manipulating Arrays. Elementary Format Specifications.
Processing Strings of Characters. Program Examples.
Procedures with Array Arguments. Derived Types.
Additional Features in Procedures. Processing Files in
Fortran. Pointer Data Types and Applications. Use of
Modules. Miscellaneous Features of Fortran 90.
Additional Features of Fortran 95. Appendices—

Fuzzy Logic
M. GANESH, Professor, Mathematics Department, Birla
Institute of Technology and Science (BITS), Pilani.
Reflecting the tremendous advances that have taken
place in the study of fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic, this
book not only details the theoretical advances in these
areas, but also considers a broad variety of applications
of fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic.
This comprehensive and up-to-date text is organized in
three parts. The concepts pertaining to the “crisp”
situation such as Set Theory, Logic, Switching Function
Theory and Boolean Algebra are covered in Part I of
the text. Part II is devoted to Fuzzy Set Theory, Fuzzy
Relations and Fuzzy Logic. The applications of fuzzy set
theory and fuzzy logic to Control Theory and Decision
Making are designated Part III of the text.
Designed as a textbook for the undergraduate and
postgraduate students of Science and Engineering, the
book will also be immensely useful to practicing
engineers and computer scientists.
KEY FEATURES
• Every concept has been illustrated with worked out
examples.
• Fuzzy concepts have been introduced as generali-
zations and extensions of crisp concepts.
• Each chapter concludes with Problem Set and
References.

Fuzzy Sets, Uncertainty and Information
GEORGE J. KLIR and TINA A. FOLGER, State University of
New York, Binghamton.
The concept of uncertainty and its relationship to
the increasingly important concept of information
and complexity need to be brought under a new
mathematical formulation. This book is intended to make
an understanding of this mathematical formalism
accessible to students and professionals in a broad range
of disciplines and covers the various issues of uncertainty,
information, and complexity from a broad perspective
based on formalism of fuzzy set theory. No prior
knowledge of fuzzy set theory or information theory is
required; the reader is however assumed to be familiar
with basic notions of set theory, logic and probability
theory, though the fundamentals of these subject areas
are briefly overviewed in the book.
The book is suitable as a text at the advanced under-
graduate/postgraduate level that covers uncertainty,
information and complexity from a broad perspective—in
mathematics courses in AI, engineering and computer
science.

MOSES
Last Frontiers of the Mind:
Challenges of the Digital Age
A. MOHANDAS MOSES, Retd. IAS.
In this original and brilliantly written book, Mohandas
Moses has embarked on a daring theme—the challenge
of artificial intelligence to the human mind and human
creativity. The mind, he says, is the greatest invention in
the universe; it has created the greatest works of art and
science: its dimensions and potential are yet to be
fathomed. But now the marvellous human mind stands
challenged by the machine.
To illustrate the central theme of his book, the author
has brought together the views of a galaxy of eminent
philosophers, cognitive scientists and neuroscientists who
have explored the phenomenon and evolution of the
human mind and consciousness, and the growth
of Artificial Intelligence. The author describes the
contribution made by the ‘Artificial Intelligentsia’,
the human-computer interaction, and emphasizes the
formidable power of the machine mind to usurp
the grandeur of the human mind. He has described
the manner in which memory, language, creativity,
mathematics, teaching-learning and chess-playing could
be altered by the digital culture. He says that ‘the
question we need to ask ourselves as thinking men
is—would we like to sense sensations, experience
experiences and think thoughts with understanding as
human beings should or are our personas to be blue
matched to the template of the machine mind?’
With erudition and wry humour the author takes the
reader on a fascinating journey of exploration. Written
with brilliance and clarity, there is freshness in his
perspective and a lucid presentation of ideas. This book
will be of great interest as much to academics, experts on
artificial intelligence, as to the general reader who wishes
to know about the challenges to the human intellect and
creativity in the digital age.

The development of the Semantic Web, with machine-
readable content, has the potential to revolutionize the
World Wide Web and its uses. A Semantic Web Primer
provides an introduction and guide to this still emerging
field, describing its key ideas, languages, and
technologies. Suitable for use as a textbook or for self-
study by professionals, it concentrates on undergraduate-
level fundamental concepts and techniques that will
enable readers to proceed with building applications on
their own and includes exercises, project descriptions,
and annotated references to relevant online materials.

Logic
HAREL, KOZEN & TIURYN
Dynamic Logic
DAVID HAREL, The Weizmann Institute.
DEXTER KOZEN, Cornell University.
JERZY TIURYN, University of Warsaw.
Dynamic Logic is a formal system for reasoning about
programs and it also enjoys the singular advantage of
being strongly related to classical logic. Traditionally, this
91
has meant formalizing correctness specifications are met
by a particular program. This book presents a compre-
hensive introduction to Dynamic Logic (DL). It can be
described as a blend of three complementary classical
ingredients: first-order predicate logic, modal logic, and
the algebra of regular events. These components merge
to form a system of remarkable unity that is theoretically
rich as well as practical.
The text is divided into three parts: Part I reviews the
fundamental concepts of logic and computability theory
that are needed in the study of Dynamic Logic. Part II
discusses Propositional Dynamic Logic and its variants,
and Part III discusses First-Order Dynamic and its variants.
Examples are provided throughout, and a collection of
exercises and a short historical section are included at the
end of each chapter.
The book will be well suited for the students of computer
science and those pursuing postgraduate courses in
philosophy.

Machine Learning
ALPAYDIN
Introduction to Machine Learning, 2nd ed.
ETHEM ALPAYDIN, Professor in the Department of
Computer Engineering at Bogaziçi University, Istanbul.
The goal of machine learning is to program computers to
use example data or past experience to solve a given
problem. Introduction to Machine Learning is a
comprehensive textbook on the subject, covering a broad
array of topics not usually included in introductory
machine learning texts. In order to present a unified
treatment of machine learning problems and solutions, it
discusses many methods from different fields, including
statistics, pattern recognition, neural networks, artificial
intelligence, signal processing, control, and data mining.
All learning algorithms are explained so that the student
can easily move from the equations in the book to a
computer program.
The new edition incorporates three topics—namely,
kernel methods, Bayesian estimation, and graphical
models in detail. A chapter on statistical test is rewritten
as one that includes the design and analysis of machine
learning.
 92 PHI Learning — CATALOGUE 2013
The book is intended for senior graduate and
postgraduate level courses on machine learning. It should
also be of great interest to engineers working in the field
concerned with the application of machine learning
methods.
“This volume offers a very accessible introduction to the
field of machine learning. Ethem Alpaydin gives a
comprehensive exposition of the kinds of modeling and
prediction problems addressed by machine learning, as
well as an overview of the most common families of
paradigms, algorithms, and techniques in the field. The
volume will be particularly useful to the newcomer eager
to quickly get a grasp of the elements that compose this
relatively new and rapidly evolving field.”

The Internet gives us access to a wealth of information in
languages we don’t understand. The investigation of
automated or semi-automated approaches to translation
has become a thriving research field with enormous
commercial potential. This volume investigates how
machine learning techniques can improve statistical
machine translation, currently at the forefront of
research in the field.
The book looks first at enabling technologies—
technologies that solve problems that are not machine
translation proper but are linked closely to the
development of a machine translation system. The book
then presents new or improved statistical machine
translation techniques.

DESOUZA & HENSGEN
Managing Information in Complex
Organizations: Semiotics and Signals,
Complexity and Chaos
KEVIN C. DeSOUZA and TOBIN HENSGEN.
From data to information and on to actionable
knowledge—the authors present in this seminal work an
eminently scientific approach for an effective design for
processing information.
Applications in information processing, of such concepts
as evolution, semiotics, entropy, complexity, emergence,
crisis, and chaos theory are presented to show their
relevance to effective crisis management. The authors
show how to evaluate and share information to avoid a
disaster rather than simply respond to it. In fact the book
highlights the question: Why do organizations continue to
fail to process available information optimally to evade
conditions related to impending crisis?
The book is useful as a text for courses in Information
Systems and Corporate Management. On the practical
side, it is an ideal book for study and reference for those
who deal in law enforcement, officers in defence
organizations, national infrastructure protection and
industrial security. In short, it is for all who seek better
ways to gather, manage, and share information.
Original and informative, it should be an essential course
reading within the diverse and complex field of managing
information processing and dissemination.
— RAYMOND A. HACKNEY,
Manchester Metropolitan University, Business School
The authors demonstrate vividly through the use of
examples and case studies, how information signals if
unchecked, can make an organization vulnerable to a
crisis. This is an invaluable guidebook for academicians
and practitioners alike. A ‘must-read’ for defence strategy
planners.

MOHAPATRA
Cases in Management Information
Systems
SANJAY MOHAPATRA, Associate Professor in Information
Systems at Xavier Institute of Management Bhubaneswar
(XIMB).
This book is intended as a supplement for courses in
Management Information Systems (MIS). It uses cases to
explain MIS concepts. It illustrates how computer-based
information systems can be used to support an
organization’s objectives and strategic plans.
The book’s objective is to capture the material from a
wide range of sectors such as health care, developmental
activities, bank operations, microfinance, etc. and
organize it around a framework that would be useful for
students to understand how MIS can help in overcoming
corporate challenges. It prepares students as managers,
providing a clear focus on information, rather than data,
and its use in business. These cases can also be used by
 COMPUTER SCIENCE, COMPUTER ENGINEERING AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
practitioners as examples for designing MIS in their own
organizations.
For each case, the costs and benefits of the information
system have been evaluated by calculating the Return on
Investment (ROI). What is more, not only quantitative
benefits, but also qualitative benefits (social and public
benefits) have been identified to justify the need for
technology-enabled MIS for supporting corporate
strategies and operations.
The book would be useful to students of MBA, BE (ICT),
MCA and M.Sc. (Computer Science) courses. Besides, it
would be of benefit to senior executives participating in
Management Development Programmes.

LEWIS
Fundamentals of Embedded Software:
Where C and Assembly Meet (with CD-ROM)
DANIEL W. LEWIS.
Today, microprocessors are embedded in almost every
electronic appliance and have become pervasive—in
our home, in the workplace, automobiles, airplanes,
cellphones—in short, in every aspect of our lives. This
highly interesting and concise text provides a clear
perspective of this innovative and extremely versatile
software and fully analyzes the fundamental concepts
and mechanisms involved. It aims at laying a foundation
that supports the multithreaded style of programming
and high reliability requirements of embedded software
and takes a practical approach to cover process
organization and assembly language from a ‘need-to-
know’ point of view.
Beginning with an appreciation of the often overlooked
consequences and limitations of binary representation,
the text discusses the different Intel architecture, with
emphasis on the 32-bit protected mode of Intel
processor. Thereafter, the basic programming skills are
reinforced since topics such as parameter passing,
recursion, and memory allocation are revisited, with
ample examples from C. Discussions on non pre-emptive,
pre-emptive, shared resources, and scheduling help
sustain the reader’s interest, and serve as stepping stones
to subsequent courses on operating systems, real-time
systems, networking and microprocessor based design.
The text emphasizes those features of C that are
employed in embedded systems.
The attached CD-ROM provides software tools needed to
develop embedded applications under Microsoft
Windows 9X, 2000 and NT.
This text, which treats a contemporary and exciting
subject in a felicitous fashion, should be of immense
value to the students of computer science and IT.

Object-Oriented Programming
BRUCE
Foundations of Object-Oriented
Languages: Types and Semantics
KIM B. BRUCE, Professor of Computer Science, Williams
College, Williams Town, Massachusetts.
Object-oriented programming has emerged as the
dominant computer programming style, and object-
oriented languages such as C++ and Java are immensely
popular with academics and industry professionals.
This book provides a comprehensive description of the
foundations of statically typed class-based object-
oriented programming languages. It begins by analyzing
existing object-oriented languages, paying special
attention to their type systems and impediments to
expressiveness. The text then examines two key features:
subtypes and subclasses. After a brief introduction to the
lambda calculus, it presents a prototypical object-
oriented language, SOOL, a simple type system which is
similar to systems of class-based object-oriented
languages in common use. The text concludes with a
discussion of features, such as parametric polymorphism
and MyType construct, which are not yet included in
most statically typed object-oriented languages.
This book, which treats a subject of current interest,
should prove highly useful to students of computer
science and IT as well as to professionals in the field.
KEY FEATURES
• Introduces readers to key issues in the type systems of
object-oriented programming languages.
• Provides core material on class-based object-oriented
languages.
• Highlights the formalism for writing the syntax and
type-checking rules for programming languages.

C++ is a popular object-oriented programming (OOP)
language for developing high-performance computer
applications. This text explores the various key concepts
of object-oriented programming such as encapsulation,
abstraction, overloading, inheritance, polymorphism,
virtual functions, templates and exception handling. Since
C++ is an extension of standard version of C, a detailed
treatment of C is also given to address the needs of the
first-time programmers not acquainted with the features
set of C.
The book discusses in detail certain concepts that have
remained grey for some time now. In this context the
notion of header files inclusion and its internals, and data
structures that support features such as polymorphism
are explained in detail. Equal emphasis is placed on
syntaxes and the semantics behind the working of each
feature of the language. Programming is not just syntaxes
and the book attempts to present programming features
in the right way by laying emphasis on concepts,
internals, and illustrating such features by real-time
programming examples as well. Programming is an art
much like mathematics and is best appreciated and
understood only if the conceptual side of the features is
put forth as opposed to the conventional view of syntax
emphasis.
This book will be useful for the students of:
• All engineering disciplines
• Computer Applications
• Information Communication Technology (ICT)

MATHA
Object-Oriented Analysis and Design
Using UML: An Introduction to Unified
Process and Design Patterns
MAHESH P. MATHA is a faculty member in one of the
affiliated colleges of Goa University.
A modern computer program, such as the one that
controls a rocket’s journey to moon, is like a medieval
cathedral—vast, complex, layered with circuits and
mazes. To write such a program, which probably runs
into a hundred thousand lines or more, knowledge of an
object-oriented language like Java or C++ is not enough.
Unified Modelling Language (UML), elaborated in detail in
this book, is a methodology that assists in the design of
software systems.
The first task in the making of a software product is to
gather requirements from the client. This well-organized
and clearly presented text develops a formal method to
write down these requirements as Use Cases in UML.
117
Besides, it also develops the concepts of static and
dynamic modeling and the Unified Process that suggests
incremental and iterative development of software,
taking client feedback at every step. The concept of
Design Patterns which provide solutions to problems
that occur repeatedly during software development is
discussed in detail in the concluding chapters. Two
appendices provide solutions to two real-life problems.
Case Studies, mapping of examples into Java code that
are executable on computers, summary and Review
Questions at the end of every chapter make the book
reader friendly.
The book will prove extremely useful to undergraduate
and postgraduate students of Computer Science,
Information Technology, and Master of Computer
Application (MCA). It will also benefit professionals who
wish to sharpen their programming skills using UML.

Fundamentals of Parallel Processing
HARRY JORDAN, University of Colorado–Boulder.
GITA ALAGHBAND, University of Colorado–Denver.
This book provides comprehensive coverage of the
principles of parallel processing. It focuses on presenting
the fundamentals by architectural features, system
properties, language constructs, and algorithm design
and implementation implications in a way that is as
independent as possible of specific architectures,
systems, and languages. The uniqueness of the book is
that it treats crucial fundamental concepts of parallel
processing rather than a collection of the latest trends.
Detailed examples are used to clarify difficult concepts.
Once the fundamental concepts are understood, they can
be applied to any architecture, system, or language.
The book also introduces the integration of parallel
architecture, algorithms, and language to provide insight
into designing and implementing parallel applications.
Fortran is used throughout to present each type of major
parallelism concept introduced in the text.
This book is intended for computer science and computer
engineering students for courses on the principles of
parallel processing.
KEY FEATURES
• Guides readers with thought-provoking questions at
the beginning of each chapter.
• Offers numerous examples to clarify difficult concepts.
• Helps students reinforce their learning with end-of-

DYBVIG
Scheme Programming Language, The,
4th ed.
R. KENT DYBVIG, Professor of Computer Science at
Indiana University and principal developer of Chez
Scheme.
This book is intended to provide an introduction to the
Scheme Programming Language in a clear and concise
manner. Scheme is a general purpose, high level
programming language, supporting operations on
structural data such as strings, lists and vectors, as well
as operations on more traditional data such as numbers
and characters. It is fairly a simple language to learn and
a truly versatile language that has been employed to
write text editors, optimizing compilers, operating
systems, graphics packages, expert systems, numerical
applications, financial analysis packages, virtual reality
systems and practically every other type of application
imaginable.
Written for professionals and students with some prior
programming experience, it begins by leading the
programmer gently through the basics of Scheme and
continues with an introduction to some of the more
advanced features of the language.
The fourth edition stands substantially revised to bring
the content up-to-date with the current Scheme
standard (http://www.rbrs.org/). This book is not
intended to supplant the current standard but rather to
provide more comprehensive introduction and reference
manual for the language with additional explanatory text
and a large number of examples spread throughout the
text. One entire chapter is dedicated to the presentation
of a set of longer examples.
Answers to many of the exercises, a complete formal
syntax of the Scheme, and a summary of forms and
procedures are provided in appendices.
“This fourth edition builds on the strengths of the
previous editions and provides a comprehensive, no-
nonsense introduction to the Scheme programming
language in its latest form. The combination of solidity
and finesse displayed in this book makes it a reference
text for educated computer scientists. The accompanying
 130 PHI Learning — CATALOGUE 2013
software, Petite Chez Scheme, makes it the ideal starting
point for any programmer who wants to extend his or
her repertoire with Scheme.”
—OLIVIER DANVY, Aarhus University, Denmark, Coeditor-in-
Chief of Higher-Order and Symbolic Computation
“Kent Dybvig’s The Scheme Programming Language is to
Scheme what Kernighan and Ritchie’s The C Programming
Language is to C. Dybvig’s book is the book for either the
novice or serious Scheme programmer. Its style, wit, and
organization has reached a new high with the publication
of the fourth edition.”
—DANIEL P. FRIEDMAN, Department of Computer Science,
Indiana University
“Students in my Programming Language Concepts class
need to learn the basics of Scheme in a few days, and to
pick up harder concepts throughout the course. For
nineteen years, The Scheme Programming Language has
been an excellent guide for them. Dybvig’s rapid-fire
prose and examples serve both the Scheme beginner and
the experienced programmer in need of a reference.
Seldom do my students make a point of praising a
computer science textbook; that happens over and over
with this one.”

How to Design Programs:
An Introduction to Programming and

Today, programming has become a required skill in many
professions. Traditional forms of programming are useful
for just a few people. But a broader notion of
programming as conceived by the authors of this text is
useful for everyone as it teaches problem-analysis and
problem-solving skills without imposing the overhead of
traditional programming notations and tools.
The main focus of the text is on the design process that
leads the readers from problem statements to well-
organized solutions—deemphasizing the study of
programming language details, algorithmic minutiae, and
specific application domains.
The book exposes the readers to two fundamentally new
ideas—program design recipes by categories of problems,
and a novel programming environment explicitly designed
for beginners. The environment grows with the readers
as they master the material in the book until it supports
a full-fledged language for the whole spectrum of
programming tasks.
The book uses a tiny subset of Scheme programming
language to develop programs. (The book is not about
programming in Scheme.) The choice of Scheme is
natural as beginners can remain focused on the essence
of programming and still develop complete programs
using just the core of this language.

and hands-on approach. It also provides views of
programming languages using widely varying levels of
abstraction, maintaining a clear connection between the
high-level and low-level views. Exercises are scattered
throughout; the text explains the key concepts, and the
exercises explore alternative designs and other issues. For
this new edition, each chapter has been revised and
many new exercises have been added. Significant
additions have also been made to the text, including
completely new chapters on modules and continuation-
passing style. Essentials of Programming Languages can
be used for both graduate and undergraduate courses,

Design Concepts in Programming
Languages
FRANKLYN TURBAK, Associate Professor, Computer
Science Department at Wellesley College.
DAVID GIFFORD, Professor of Computer Science and
Engineering at MIT.
MARK A. SHELDON, Visiting Assistant Professor, Computer
Science Department at Wellesley College.
This comprehensive text uses a simple and concise
framework to teach key ideas in programming language
design and implementation. The book’s unique approach
is based on a family of syntactically simple pedagogical
languages that allow students to explore programming
language concepts systematically. It takes as its premise
and starting point the idea that when language behaviors
become incredibly complex, the description of the
behaviors must be incredibly simple.
The book presents a set of tools (a mathematical
metalanguage, abstract syntax, operational and
denotational semantics) and uses it to explore a
comprehensive set of programming language design
dimensions, including dynamic semantics (naming,
state, control, data), static semantics (types, type
reconstruction, polymorphism, effects), and pragmatics
(compilation, garbage collection).
This new textbook by Franklyn Turbak, David Gifford, and
Mark Sheldon—comprehensive, thorough, pedagogically
innovative, impeccably written and organized—greatly
enriches the area of programming languages and will be
an important reference for years to come.

Concepts, Techniques, and Models of
Computer Programming
PETER VAN ROY is Professor in the Department of

Catholique de Louvain, at Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium.
SEIF HARIDI is Professor of Computer Systems in the
Department of Microelectronics and Information
Technology at the Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden,
and Chief Scientific Advisor of the Swedish Institute of
Computer Science.
This innovative text presents programming as a unified
discipline in a way that is both practical and scientifically
sound. The book focuses on techniques of lasting value
and explains them precisely in terms of a simple abstract
machines.
After an introduction to programming concepts, the book
presents both well-known and lesser-known computation
models (“programming paradigm”). Each model has its
own set of techniques and each is included on the basis
of its usefulness in practice. The general models include
declarative programming, declarative concurrency,
explicit state, object-oriented programming, shared-state
concurrency, and relational programming. Specialized
models include graphical user interface programming,
distributed programming, and constraint programming.
Each model is based on its kernel language—a simple
core language that consists of a small number of
programmer-significant elements. The kernel languages
are introduced progressively, adding concepts one by
one, thus showing the deep relationships between
different models. The kernel languages are defined
precisely in terms of a simple abstract machine. The book
has many program fragments and exercises, all of which
can be run on the Mozart Programming system, an Open
Source Software package that features an interactive
incremental development environment.
The book intends to be used in undergraduate courses
on programming concepts and techniques, applied
programming models, concurrent and distributed
programming, computational models and on constraint
programming.

S.A. KELKAR, Adjunct Professor in the Department of
Computer Science and Engineering and the Shailesh
J. Mehta School of Management, Indian Institute of
Technology Bombay.
Past experience with the development of software
products indicates that there is much scope for
improvement. Being design intensive, software projects
run the risk of cost/schedule overruns besides remaining
off the mark in satisfying the customers. The blame for
the failures is very often attributed to inadequate project
management rather than lack of competence in develop-
ment. With the growth in the size and complexity of
software projects and the corresponding design and
development effort involved, the importance of formal
software project management cannot be over-
emphasized.
This book, in its second edition, comprehensively
presents the essentials of theory and practice of software
project management methodologies. The aim is to
introduce the readers to the subject in a conceptual
framework. The topics included in this edition are
updated as per the ongoing trends in the field of
software project management.
NEW TO THIS EDITION
• An appendix on Metrics and Measurements
• A list of abbreviations at the beginning of chapters
The book is well-suited for teaching an academic course
of one semester or for conducting short training
programmes for software engineers and project
managers. Armed with updated concepts and ideas,
software engineers and project managers will be able to
plan every aspect of a project to ensure its timely
implementation within the stipulated budget and
required quality standards.

DAVID B. FOGEL.
Evolutionary computation is one of the new and fastest
growing areas of computer science, particularly with
regard to its application for solving difficult engineering
problems from diverse disciplines. This concise, accessible
introduction provides an overview of the basic principles
and practice of evolutionary algorithms, with a focus
on examples from the area of signal processing. The
examples span a considerable range of applications and
should be useful to a variety of readers with different
backgrounds and expertise.
Beginning with a survey of evolutionary computation, the
book describes in detail the methodology of designing
and optimizing mathematical models, and discusses
how evolutionary algorithms can provide effective and
potentially innovative means for addressing problems in
clustering and classification—the two principal areas of
research in signal processing. Evolutionary algorithms
provide a variety of means for addressing optimal control
problems. The examples presented in the book indicate a
diverse set of applications of evolutionary algorithms for
control.
Finally, a relatively new approach to designing improved
evolutionary algorithms that relies on fitness distribution
of operators is described and its application to problems
in signal processing and other domains is emphasized.
Students of computer science and engineering would find
this book extremely useful. Its lucid treatment provides
the students with an opportunity to learn how evolu-
tionary algorithms perform in practice.

JACKSON
Software Abstractions: Logic, Language,
and Analysis
DANIEL JACKSON, Professor, Department of Electrical
Engineering and Computer Science and leads the
Software Design Group at the Computer Science and
Artificial Intelligence Lab at MIT.
Any system build on flawed concepts makes it clumsy
and hard to make even simplest of changes to repair
the damage done. The author begins the book with the
statement “Software is built on abstractions. Pick the
right ones and programming will flow from design;
modules will have small and simple interfaces; and new
functionality will more likely fit in without extensive
organization.”
Basically, an abstraction is an idea reduced to its essential
form. The author introduces the key elements of the
approach: a logic, which provides the building blocks of
the language; a language, which adds a small amount of
syntax to the logic for structuring descriptions; and an
analysis, which is a form of constraint solving, and it
offers both simulation (generating sample states and
executions) and checking (finding counterexamples to
claimed properties). The author uses the language Alloy
as a vehicle because of its simplicity and tool support; but
the book’s lessons are mostly language-independent, and
could also be applied in the context of other modeling
languages.

SHAW & GARLAN
Software Architecture: Perspectives on
an Emerging Discipline
MARY SHAW and DAVID GARLAN, both of Carnegie
Mellon University.
Software developers have often adopted specific
architectural patterns for system organization—but, for
the most part, informally. In this book, the authors
discuss the formalization of what, until now, has been
‘a substantial folklore of system design, with little
consistency or precision’.
With their unique perspective on the current state of
software architecture and its impact on design, the
authors provide useful information for several types of
readers:
• Professional software developers will find new ideas in
the discussion and evaluation of familiar patterns.
• Student will find useful techniques for approaching
system organization from an architectural point of
view, rather than following current fads or outmoded
methodology.
• Educators will find the book helpful as a text for a
software architecture course or as a supplemental text
for courses in software engineering or software design.
THIS BOOK ALSO INCLUDES
• Hints for choosing a suitable architecture.
• The use of well-understood paradigms for designing
new systems.
• How formal notation and models can characterize
system design.
• The study of actual system architectures as models
for new designs.
It provides the best general framework and set of
techniques for dealing with software architectures that
are available today. And it conveys the excitement of
being able to look at the software fields in new ways.

TSUI
Digital Techniques for Wideband
Receivers, 2nd ed.
JAMES B. TSUI is an electronics engineer with the
Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson
Air Force Base, Ohio.
In modern communication systems, there is a
need for more and more increase in bandwidth
requirements. Earlier, wide bandwidth used to be
restricted to the domain of Electronic Warfare (EW)
systems. In recent years, however, the requirements in
EW and communication receivers have become closely
aligned and wide input bandwidth coverage and high
dynamic range are required in both types of systems.
The text introduces digital signal processing approaches
145
that are applicable to wideband receiver designs. It is
written primarily for advanced level in EW and
communication areas and is intended for postgraduate or
senior undergraduate level courses. The book is also
useful as supplementary text for the students of
electronics and communication.
KEY FEATURES
• Many examples in every chapter for better
understanding of problems of receiver design; also
comprehensive bibliography at ends of chapters for
further study.
• Many computer programs (all in MATLAB) are included
to provide a better mileage to the readers.
Contents: Preface. Introduction. Requirements and
Characteristics of Electronic Warfare Receivers. Fourier
Transform and Convolution. Discrete Fourier Transform.
Fourier Transform Related Operations. Analog-to-Digital
Converters. Amplifiers and Analog-to-Digital Converter
Interface. Frequency Down-converters. Sensitivity and
Detection Problems. Phase Measurements and Zero
Crossings. Frequency Channelization. Monobit Receiver.
Processing Methods After Frequency Channelization.
Higher-Resolution Spectrum Estimation. Angle of Arrival
Measurements. Receiver Tests. Glossary. About the
Author. Index.
